The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) is an American science fiction adventure film based on Suzanne Collins' dystopian novel. Catching Fire is the second part of The Hunger Games trilogy.
The film is directed by Francis Lawrence, the American music video, film and television director and producer. He's the director of "I Am Legend," "Water For Elephants," as well as countless television series and music videos.
The main character is Katniss Everdeen, a 17-year-old girl who lives with her mother and her younger sister, Primrose, in a place known as District 12. Since her childhood she has taken care of her family. She often hunts with her friend, Gale Hawthrone, in the nearby forest, so she has learned to use a bow and arrow well deal well with the bow. When it was time for the 74th Hunger Games, Effie Trinket, the leader of District 12, picked Primrose in a raffle, for the female chosen from this district. But Katniss volunteered to take the place of Primrose.
The plot of the film:
After Katniss and Peeta Mellark won the 74th Hunger games, they returned home to District 12. But there's no hope for them to have a normal life again. President Snow visits Katniss, who lives in the Victors' Town now, and explains that her actions in the Games have inspired rebellions across the districts. She must try to reassure the rebels, or President Snow will kill everyone who Katniss loves. So she and Peeta must continue pretending to be in love, and they must go on a Victory tour and visit all of the districts. Returning home, Katniss, Haymitch (a previous winner) and Peeta are informed that the 75th Hunger Games is particularly important. The 3rd Great Massarcre shall be carried out by previous victors from each districts. Katniss and Haymitch are the chosen ones, but Peeta immediately volunteers to take Haymitch's place. During the training they become friends with some of the previous victors, for example Finnick, Johanna, Beetee and Mags. They form an alliance. The new arena is quite different. In the middle, near the cornucopia, there's land. From the island there are 12 small strips of land, where one can get to the surrounding beach. Behind the sandy beach there's a ruthless and dangerous jungle. It looks like a clock, and it divides the arena into 12 equal sectors. The whole arena is surrounded by a protective shield, the so-called energy field, which cannot be penetrated. In each sector there are different horrors. There are ferocious, mutant monkeys, warm, blood rain, (cunmi?), mutant mockingjays and poisonous fog.
